configure: error:
Missing libv4l2. It is highly recommended to build with
libv4l2 headers and library. Many camera will won't work or will crash
your application if libv4l2 is not installed.
If you know what you are doing, you can use --disable-libv4l2 to disable
this check.
I tried installing libv4l-dev but then the build failed with
OBJCLD mediastream
../src/.libs/libmediastreamer.so: undefined reference to `v4l_desc'
../src/.libs/libmediastreamer.so: undefined reference to `ms_v4l_desc'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[5]: *** [mediastream] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/linphone-3.5.2/mediastreamer2/tests'
So I went back and looked at the last successful build log for linphone
on kfreebsd and saw

I then tried building with --disable-libv4l2 but the package still
failed to build with link errors, it seems there is some support in
linphone for building directly against v4l without using libv4l2.
To sumarise the situation it seems that kfreebsd now has a version of
v4l but linphone doesn't build with it.
I see two courses of action
1: Build with --disable-video on kfreebsd. Afaict this will restore
things to the way they were before kfreebsd added v4l support (i'm not a
linphone expert though, maybe there is some form of other video support
that doesn't rely on v4l, if so please tell us if it's possible to
disable just v4l).
2: Fix linphone to work with kfreebsd's variant of v4l.
I've attatched a patch that does the former, ccing debian-bsd to see if
anyone is interested in working on the latter.
* It seems that even with --disable-libv4l2 on the command line the
package tries to use it anyway if it's present :(
